‘Night Escape’ – the kaleidoscopic new offering from Los Angeles based The New Division is the first taster from their forthcoming new EP of the same name, due out on November 13.
Shimmering with eighties retrospection and a lead guitar line to die for, ‘Night Escape’ is the sound of the Drive soundtrack shot through with a New Romantic outlook. Keep Shelly In Athens’ guest appearance opens the floodgates further, a sea of glistening sound develops throughout and you can’t fail but to give in and let it overcome. Flawless.
